How can I more easily switch between buffers in Emacs?
While working with emacs I tend to keep many open windows. Unfortunately using M-x other-window is quite annoying. So far I have set up keyboard shortcut in my .emacs file: (global-set-key (quote [backtab]) (quote other-window)). That makes things a bit easier but I am looking for equivalents of commands next-buffer and previus-buffer that can be applied to windows.

To select a different window, click with Mouse-1 on its mode line. With the keyboard, you can switch windows by typing C-x o ( other-window ).
Moving Between Frames You can use the mouse to select a frame or press C-x 5 o to go to another frame. To see a list of current frames, select Frames from the Buffers menu.
At any time, one and only one buffer is selected. It is also called the current buffer.
Buffers in Emacs editing are objects that have distinct names and hold text that can be edited. Buffers appear to Lisp programs as a special data type. You can think of the contents of a buffer as a string that you can extend; insertions and deletions may occur in any part of the buffer.
Add the following to your .emacs
(windmove-default-keybindings)
(setq windmove-wrap-around t)
Then you'll be able to switch between windows with Shift+{left,up,down,right} arrows. Shift modifier is a parameter to windmove-default-keybindings, so you can choose another one.
You may want to activate a winner-mode. It's a minor mode which remembers your window configurations and you can go to the previous/next configuration using winner-undo or winner-redo.
